[Borgbackup] how to back up 300 million files

[Marian Beermann]

As far as I can see the information there is correct and complete.
MAX_OBJECT_SIZE is an internal constant

Regarding 1.1.x beta compatibility with stable releases; there is no
intent to break it. Doing so would make them pointless, since no one
would test such an unstable release.

Cheers, Marian
